Our Safe Flo lead-free wire solder is perfect for working with potable water systems, refrigeration lines, and cooling equipment, and meets the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act.. Flux is required when using this product.

Flux is used to remove unwanted dirt and particles from the surface of the copper pipe, and is also used to etch the surface of the copper. Solder will not properly flow into joints, and therefore will not create a water-tight seal, without the use of flux.

Precautions

Read all cautions and directions carefully before using this
product. Apply flux with brush- do not apply with fingers.
Wash hands thoroughly after use and before eating. Wear
safety glasses with side shields and rubber gloves. EYE AND
SKIN IRRITANT. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. VAPOR MAY BE

OATEY 22004 95/5 .117 GAUGE LEAD FREE WIRE SOLDER (1/2 LB.):

Oatey 95/5 Lead Free Plumbing Solder is a solid wire solder for use in plumbing applications where frequent and extreme temperature changes and vibrations occur. 95/5 Solder is commonly used for potable water applications, refrigeration lines and cooling equipment. 95/5 Solder complies with CA & VT lead content regulations.

Directions for Use

Cut the pipe to the exact length required using a tube cutter. Be sure the pipe is cut square.

Remove all burrs on the inside and outside of the pipe surface with a reamer tool.

Remove all oil, grease and oxide corrosion
from the surface of the piping to be joined using Oatey Abrasive Sandcloth, Utility Brushes or Nylon Grit Pads. The joining surfaces must be clean before soldering.

Apply a small amount of approved flux to the pipe and fitting surface. Proper fluxing is important because the flux promotes the flow of the filler metal.

Insert the pipe end into the fitting.

Heat the joint area, using caution not to overheat the joint. Feed the solder wire into the
joint. When the solder wire has drawn around the entire joint, remove the heat. When soldering process is complete, allow the joint to cool undisturbed. When joint is cool, remove any flux residual with a damp cloth.
